Fifty-three centimetres of snow fell in Whistler Village during that time, according to Environment Canada, adding to an already record-breaking December in the region.

Whistler Blackcomb says it saw a new snowfall record for the month of December, with 384 centimetres of fresh snow falling during the month. This beat a previous record set in December 1994, by four centimetres.

“It was a phenomenal holiday period and we’ve got a great base to start the season, particularly given the snow we’ve had in the first days of January. It took some time to arrive this season, but it’s not letting up,” Marc Riddell, Whistler Blackcomb & Northwest public relations director said in a release.

Whistler Blackcomb says about 74 centimetres of snow hit the mountains between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday this week, which also caused some chaos on Highway 99 for drivers trying to get to the village.

WATCH: (Aired Jan. 3, 2019) Wintery weather across the south coast and the southern interior is causing closures on both Highway 1 and the Sea to Sky highway.

Heavy snowfall, warm temperatures and high winds have led to an extreme avalanche risk in Banff, Yoho, Kootenay and Jasper national parks.

The daily avalanche bulletin for the mountain parks in Alberta and B.C. says they have received between 25 and 45 centimetres of snow in the past few days and it’s overloading a weak layer from mid-December.

Officials say the danger rating forecast for today is extreme, which means people should avoid all avalanche terrain because natural- and human-triggered avalanches are certain.
